Purchased 1999 Mirage from thompson Ford and was not notified that the vehicle was on a recall. Automobile was purchased in November 2000. Subsequently , pulley bolt completely broke and the entire pulley and belt fell out. This was the first incident, exact days unknown, however month and year are accurate. In April 2003, vehicle stopped. Was informed by thompson Ford that the vehicle wsa not under warranty only to find out approximately 10 days later that it was. Vehicle was taken to thompson Ford after another mechanic had serviced the vehicle and could not find the problem. Thompson Ford replaced the piston and this did not solve the problem. Vehicle was sent to a authorized dealer where they replaced a valve and sensor, however the vehicle still does not run. Failure of thompson Ford to notify me of the recall upon purchase could have resulted in a serious accident or death as at the time I purchased the vehicle I was commuting. I became aware of the recall in 2002 following the pulley bolt breaking and costing considerable monies for repairs.

Recall 00-v-311-001 concerning crankshaf/pulley bolt. Consumer taken vehicle into dealer twice already for this recall to be taken care off. But, each time t said that the tools were not in.

I've had problems with the car from day one. It has always used oil, having to add more oil all the time even though I due an oil change on regular basis. This has caused me to run low on oil, and the oil does not come on until as the mechanics say "its bone dry". The air condition belt squeaked from day one, then just quit working. The water pump has now went out twice!!! the first time the thermostat also was not working, which caused me to have a major mechanical bill. . . No warning while out of state!!! the windshield has always fogged up no matter what you do to eliminate it, which has caused me near collisions numerous times. The windows soon became off track for no apparent reason and now leak water. Ball joints have been replaced. This car basically was a lemon. I purchased this car brand new, my first new car and my last from Mitsubishi.
